在新奥尔良和路易斯安那州，法语是一种生活语言。在联盟中没有其他州（在其他城市中），法文文化已被如此完整地融入社会结构，其遗产仍在发挥着至关重要的作用。我们的计划在国内和国际上的强大吸引力证明了这一点很重要：选择Tulane的学生了解在一个如此沉迷于法语的城市中追求激情的令人信服的逻辑。Tulane位于通常被称为“加勒比海的最北端的城市”，处于两个美洲和较大的大西洋世界的十字路口，靠近海地和法文安的列斯群岛。凭借我们城市和本地区的法文文化历史，法语国家的生活传统以及法文总领事的存在和活动，我们的城市仍然是法
In New Orleans and Louisiana, French is a living language. In no other state in the Union in no other city is French culture so integrally built into the social fabric and its heritage still so vitally in play. The strong appeal of our program both nationally and internationally demonstrates that place matters: students who choose Tulane understand the compelling logic of pursuing their passion in a city so thoroughly steeped in its Francophone past. Located in what is often referred to as the northernmost city of the Caribbean, Tulane is at the crossroads of the two Americas and the larger Atlantic world, and in proximity to Haiti and the French Antilles. With the cultural history of French in our city and region, a living tradition of Francophonie, and the presence and activities of the French Consul General, our city remains an ideal place for French study.<br><br>As a student in Tulane's M.A. in French, you will be part of the recovery of New Orleans's French-speaking world. You will be contributing to the preservation of the cultural memory of French colonization and immigration from France, Canada, and the Caribbean, and of the city's historic linguistic and ethnic diversity.
